Low dose Geodon stimulating / insomnia??

Posted by displaced9 on October 19, 2010, at 22:22:31

Hi, I was recently (about 2.5 weeks ago) switched from Seroquel XR 100MG @ 6pm to Geodon. We started at 20mg of Geodon, but I couldn't sleep and depression and anxiety symptoms returned. So, we upped the dose to 80mg at bedtime. Problem is, I can't sleep and I feel extremely sped up the following day. We switched it to 40mg AM and 40mg PM, and i felt fine for a couple days. today, I started out feeling extremely groggy, then that wore off and now I'm extremely alert, like on a caffeine high, and unable to sleep. The PDoc gave me Vistaril to help me sleep ,but this doesn't seem to be helping either. Will this stimulant like effect go away with some more time? I desperately want to get some good sleep!

Thanks for your input..
P.S. - I experienced some "alertness" following day while on Seroquel, but I could always count on Seroquel to knock me on my butt asleep after taking it at night..
